Hi, thanks for buying and for the good info.

Intellisense errors and build errors are two different things. If you click build it should build and upload the same as the Arduino IDE.

If you change the combo box at the top of the errors list (see your screen shot) from Intellisense + Build to "Build Only" it will be less confusing because you will only see real errors after a build.

We sometimes have to add additional paths for vs intellisense to find everything, we will review your output to replicate with the the esp32 toolchain version you have installed.

Sometimes clicking the "vMicro>Show Hidden Files" certainly improves F12 GoTo definition and can sometimes improve or make worse the intellisense errors list.

Another workaround is to change the combo box on the left top of the errors list to "Open Documents" so that errors from outside of your own active code are not displayed. It's an option but always a great one.

Will review for next release but intellisense might never be 100% perfect until Microsoft release support for clang in std C++ projects. I think it's coming sometime soon, there is some noise about it.

Oh I see thanks. I think this is because you have a user installed ArduinoOTA library. Delete folder "c:\users\daniel\documnts\arduino\libraries\ArduinoOTA" then click Rescan or Restart the IDE

I think the latest visual micro version would ignore that library anyway but you don't want it. The OTA is supplied as part of the esp core and is different version.

Please click "Build.Clean Solution" clear the cache.

The "Build>Clean" simply clears the temp build folder. All builds are the same but build clean is not a build.

I should have said to click clean and then click build.

Vs2019 will be the same, first we need to confirm a build after the clean still fails. If it does please zip and email your project to info[at]visualmicro.com along with a link back to this thread. It should be compiling okay but the project with the problem (or a simpler project with same libs that has same problem) will be useful.

Hi
my last post before going to sleep...:

VM version is: 1906.3.0, installed on 10.06.2019.

I first cleaned, then built, without success. I attached textfile with ArduinoIDE output. Everything running fine with that.

If we still don't succeed, I will reduce my sketch to as few lines as possible, showing the problem. But that's for tomorrow.

Kind regards, and thanks for your patience and support!

Hi

it was already configured for 'Release'. I changed the location to .... 1.8.9.

As far as can see the result is still the same. (I did a rescan and 'Clean Solution before 'Build).

You find both output texts attached.

Kind regards
Dan

Hi

This looks like "vMicro>Compiler>Deep Search for Libraries" has been switched off. ?

Oh great. We try to do the same as the Arduino but the flexibility can also catch people out. For example the deep search can be a little slow at times but the Arduino IDE always does it. 

You are right, as soon as we have released the hardware debugging over the next week or two the next job is the documentation and guides.

The Arduino library system is simple but if you find you want specific versions of libraries in a project then its worth experimenting with the "always add project" option on the "Add Library" menu. That shows how to add a simple standard visual studio shared c++ project that points to a specific library location. You can use the same system to place/copy a library inside or outside of any official Arduino library location (not below the project folder though!)

Thanks for the clear reports

There are some useful fixes in the latest pre-release in this forum https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?board=VS_ARDUINO_EXT_RELEASES
